Met Danny La Rue twice in the late 90's. he told me he was still working, very nice person, polite, happy for a few seconds of chit chat. I recognised him straight away.
I cannot emphasize enough how lucky travellers are today compared to years gone by. I was in my twenties when this show was aired and if I did not catch it "live" on the night I probably missed out. Us travellers back then relied on books like Lonely Planet to advise on on the best place to stay on our global adventures. Nowadays there is so much available via social media that if you do your research it's really impossible to go wrong.
I remember the bills and the bar staff said much of the time they were too busy to check names/signatures and 'You wouldn't believe the amount of Mickey Mouses and Donald Ducks leaving big bar bills'.😂
As an Aussie, it was quite a sight to see ships like this, "parked" between The Bridge and the Opera House, in Sydney. You could see them on your day to day commute, passing through Circular Quay railway station. They look a bit lonely, without the ships, in my opinion.
For her time she was, she had refits every year and has a huge following you have to remember fashion and interior design was very different have a look at photos her queens room and double down room were incredible
Returning home each night to this friendly and familiar piece of Britain, thats a good description of Judith Chalmers.

This was my second trip as crew remember it very well. Danny la Rue was a nice bloke as well
Ahhh, all those sailors! 😂God bless Danny La Rue.
Danny La Rue seems like such a nice person. A real old school entertainer.

It takes all the adventure out of it though.
They were simpler times, they were better times.

Donald Duck always had a big bill!
@@trenchantinsight Nice one.
The type of holiday I have nightmares about.
Apart from me and Billy Connolly, the finest vessel ever built in Glasgow.
Fantastic
It’s lovely Danny!
Just an excuse to eat and drink as much as possible but the scenery is lovely !!

It’s hard to believe that that was considered to be supremely luxurious
I've never been on a cruise so this still looks quite luxurious to me.

My nightmare of a holiday
No thank you
I knew Judith Chalmers before she was brown.
I knew mrs brown before she had boys.
I once met Holly from Red Dwarf. It was Hattie Hayridge.
In the days before the gay cruise!
